Tea Brained Outrage.....

Earlier this week, there was a little incident at a press conference by Barack Obama when he spoke about immigration reform. You've heard about Neil Munro, from the Daily Caller repeatedly interrupting the speech. He claimed that he wasn't heckling the president or trying to show disrespect and heavens forbid, it was a natural mistake. Frankly, Obama was much too polite with Mr. Munro in actually addressing the boorish asshole. Face it, if this had been back in the Days of George Jr. and he pulled this crap, he's have been yanked out of the crowd by security and frog stepped briskly to Guantanamo. Just look at what happened to Helen Thomas when she actually asked a "difficult" question to Bush...?I'm not in a very polite mood today and it's probably a very good thing that I wasn't in control of Security during Obama's Press Conference because I would have collared Munro, dragged him off behind a rose bush and kneed him in the nuts and left him whining. Why does we tolerate someone like Munro and his behavior? Why does he think he can get away with this kind of shit? What is he really trying to do here? I spent about an hour trolling around the internet today visiting some of my favorite teabrain sites in Ohio. It's kind of a vicarious thrill. A little nauseating, but there is a kind of frisson from seeing just how stupid stupid can actually be. These are the same folks who will tell you how they had a negro friend in grade school who was a good negro...heck he was almost white, so they couldn't be racists. Heavens to betsy no, they aren't racists. They haven't a racist bone in their pudgy christian bodies....but then again the are the same folks who would think it just plain old good fun to erect this little political display at last weekends GOP Convention in Montana.

A shotgun, an outhouse, and a birth certificate stamped “bullshit” all made appearances at Montana’s GOP convention over the weekend.

At Saturday’s convention in Missoula, Montana, a few convention-goers set up outside with an outhouse labeled “Obama’s Presidential Library.” But that wasn’t the most outrageous part. According to the Missoulian, the outhouse was also decorated in sexism, birtherism, and implicit threats:

The outhouse was painted to look as though it had been riddled by bullets.

Inside, a fake birth certificate for Barack Hussein Obama made reference to the disproven controversy over the president’s origins. It was stamped “Bull––.” A graffito advised “For a Good Time call 800-Michelle (crossed out), Hillary (crossed out) and Pelosi (circled in red.)”

State GOP Chairman Will Deschamps of Missoula said he didn’t know who’d brought the outhouse, but dismissed it as “a sideshow.”

The Billings Gazette also reported that Newt Gingrich, “the convention’s featured speaker on Saturday, got a raffle ticket for what might in any other part of the country seem an unusual combo — a 12-gauge shotgun, a shovel and a roll of duct tape” — apparently a reference to wolf hunting in the area.

All good clean fun...how could you call this racist? And if you did? Ohhh...the outrage, call the wahhmbulance...So here are the fruits of my hour of research on the internet today. These were all taken from Conservative Tea Brained sites...one site led to another...you know how it is...Racist? How dare you utter that word in the company of my dead zombie mother?

Here's an extra added bonus! Arizona Radio Personality Barbara Espinosa calls Barack Obama a monkey and then claims she isn't a racist because her name is Espinosa! You can read her actual bizarre reasoning in her own words on her blog here.You could also report her blog to blogger for hate language if you wanted to. I did.

Groupe Coordination Aude Mali

Groupe Coordination Aude Mali assists refugees from Timbuctu with their basic survival needs in the refugee camp in Djibo, Burkina-Faso.
Most of them have gone back to their homes near Timbuctu and GCAM has restarted our school with 4 classes.
We already have more than 70 students attending every day but we still need basic tools and food which GCAM provides. We also pay the salaries of the 2 teachers.
With your help we could do major repairs on buildings that are partially destroyed. You can help us financing this school. A small donation goes a very long way. Thank you so much!

Groupe Coordination Aude Mali is a non profit NGO based in France. Please make a donation to support the Touareg victims of the crisis in Mali. Thank you.
